to-day and dissolved into a gigantic mass meet ing to-night without adopting a plat form or coming any nearer a selection of a nominee for president than the delegates were yesterday until late this morning the commit tee on resolutions had not been com pleted and not a single plank in the platform had been drafted officially while the committee as a whole was listening to speeches by joshua lever ing and others in memorial hall this evening joining in the hymns of praise and applauding the singing of - a large mixed chorus a subcommit tee of five was wrestling with the plat form , it will not report to the convention until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning although according to the plans out lined in th-e official programme the platform was to have been adopted to-night the probabilities are that women's suffrage will find a place in the declaration of principles at least in so far as concerns ballot reform by educational tests without regard to sex an effort will be to include a plank on guaranteed banks along the lines favored by william j bryan there is not likely to be a strenuous fight on this plank but if a majority of a com mittee on resolutions should decline to include the plank on women's suf frage there will unquestionably be a warm dispute in the convention peoria man is favorite daniel r sheen of peoria 111 still ap pears to be the favorite in the race for presidential nomination but there is a growing belief that the convention will take the bit in its teeth and nominate some man outside the vÂ»rty as yet not mentioned this belief was strengthened by the ap planse which greeted the name of judge samuel artman an indiana republican when it occurred in the keynote address made by robert h patton of springfield 111 the temporary chairman although judge artman is not identified with the party and always hasten iden tified with a party which has stbod for the licensing of saloons he received more ap plause from the delegates than joshua levering the standard bearer in 1896 or dr silas c swallow who led the ticket in 1904 the fact that both artman and sheen appear to be so popular with the delegates is taken to mean that the pro hibition party has broadened wonderfully in its views of politics since the last na tional campaign four _ yeara ago mr sheen could scarcely have hoped to receive high honors from his party the fact that he studied law with robert ingersoll that he is not identified with any church and that he is extremely tolerant in his relig ious views would have condemned htm utterly with the church element of the prohibitionists church element still rules it may yet result in his defeat for ths church element is still the ruling element and in spite of its new liberal policy it is inclined to

to-day and dissolved into a gigantic mass meet ing to-night without adopting a plat form or coming any nearer a selection of a nominee for president than the delegates were yesterday until late this morning the commit tee on resolutions had not been com pleted and not a single plank in the platform had been drafted officially while the committee as a whole was listening to speeches by joshua lever ing and others in memorial hall this evening joining in the hymns of praise and applauding the singing of - a large mixed chorus a subcommit tee of five was wrestling with the plat form , it will not report to the convention until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning although according to the plans out lined in th-e official programme the platform was to have been adopted to-night the

than joshua levering the standard bearer in 1896 or dr silas c swallow who led the ticket in 1904 the fact that both artman and sheen appear to be so popular with the delegates is taken to mean that the pro hibition party has broadened wonderfully in its views of politics since the last na tional campaign four _ yeara ago mr sheen could scarcely have hoped to receive high honors from his party the fact that he studied law with robert ingersoll that he is not identified with any church and that he is extremely tolerant in his relig ious views would have condemned htm utterly with the church
